About The Ward of Cheap Club

The Club exists to provide support to the Lord Mayor, and the Alderman and Common Councilmen of the Ward of Cheap in carrying out their duties on behalf of the Ward itself and of the City of London, to support and encourage activities aimed at enhancing the welfare of the Ward, and to arrange social functions, such as business breakfasts and educational events for the benefit of its members. The Club provides an excellent and affordable means to learn about the history and governance of the City, and allows the opportunity to meet some of the people who have influence over the way the City operates. It takes its name from the medieval market held in the Ward ("Cheap" being the old English word for "market"). It is situated in the very heart of the City, containing within its boundaries a small part of the Guildhall buildings (the main entrance and the main hall itself) and the approaches to Guildhall, two churches, the Corporation Church of St Lawrence Jewry and the Church of St Vedast alias Foster, and the Livery Halls of the Mercers, Goldsmiths, Wax Chandlers, and Saddlers Companies. Among its famous sons it numbers Thomas á Becket and Sir Thomas More, both of whom were born in the Ward. The Club is governed by a set of rules (January 2007). It is managed by its' elected officers supported by a Committee consisting of the Officers of the Ward, all Past Presidents of the Club, and up to six members of the Club. The Officers of the Club, and ordinary members of the Committee, are elected at the Club’s AGM held in January.
